WA’s PREMIER COMMUNITY SWIM

The annual “Coogee Jetty to Jetty Swim” is organised by Cockburn Masters Swimming Club through a Sub-Committee which diligently plans and delivers the event on behalf of the club.

This year’s event is Coogee Jetty to Jetty Swim XXIII and will take place on Sunday 10th March 2019 at Coogee Beach, WA.

Perhaps most famous for being one of those rare and special community events which caters for all, it includes a beach walk, multiple swim distances, a post-swim community breakfast and a festival family atmosphere for all to enjoy, with swimmers aged from 8 years upwards and into their 90’s.

Offering three swim distances (250m Try-It, 750m Splash and 1,500m Classic) in pristine waters at Coogee Beach, the swim’s popularity and entry numbers continue to grow from year to year and the event has “sold out” in each of the last two years.

Our club’s vision is “to provide the most enjoyable family-oriented open water swim in WA” so come along and see if we have succeeded!

Of course, a big thank you to our major sponsors for allowing us to make this event happen.

7.55am (approx) – Try-It Swim Finishes (Finisher Medals are presented at the finish line as swimmers complete their swim)

THE CHECK-IN

All swimmers (pre-registered online) must report to the registration desks in the designated Check-In Area on the morning of the event between 6.45am and 7.45am to collect their race pack (timing band, race tattoo & swim cap).

Please car-pool, walk or cycle to the venue if you have the opportunity.

Parking is at a premium, so arrive early and plan ahead.

Check-In desks will be closed promptly a 7.45am for safety purposes so please allow yourselves MORE than enough time to make your way from parking areas to the Check-In area or you may not be able to swim.

THE COURSE

The swim takes place in the ocean between Coogee Beach Jetty and Woodman Point Jetty and runs parallel to the beach in generally shallow water.

THE BRIEFING

All swimmers MUST attend the Compulsory Race Briefing which takes place around the Woodman Point Jetty at 8.00am.

(A separate compulsory briefing for the 250m Try-It swim takes place at 7.25am also at the Woodman Point Jetty)

THE START

After the relevant briefing, swimmers walk from the Woodman Point Jetty along the beach to their start line – either at the Coogee Beach Jetty (1500m Classic), the designated marker buoy half way along the beach (750m Splash) or the 250m start line & marker buoy.

This year, the 750m Splash start line and 1500m Classic start line will be marked by new inflatable duck marker buoys called Danny & Daisy, one of them positioned in the water at each start line.

WAVE STARTS

Wave starts of approximately 100-150 swimmers will be used at each start line (based on entry times nominated). The starting procedure is simple and will be explained fully at briefing.

The 250m Ty-It swim will be started in smaller groups.

WATER SAFETY

Water safety is kindly provided by Coogee Beach Surf Life Saving Club and other land support/first aid is provided by St John Ambulance.

RACE RULES

A simplified set of Race Rules has been developed in conjunction with Masters Swimming WA (MSWA), which provides insurance and sanctioning of the event. View the WOW Swims Local Rules here.

Swimwear rules are easy – basically, anything goes – with the exception of wetsuits (which ARE allowed with swimmers wearing wetsuits placed into a separate WETSUIT category for prizes).

THE FINISH

All swimmers swim in the same direction towards Woodman Point Jetty and finish the race by swimming under an in-water finishing boom where a time is recorded.

Unless we lose her again (!), you will all swim past Daphne the Duck as you approach the finish boom so wave and say hello!

Swimmers then make their way to the shoreline, through the finishing arch and into the recovery zone where fruit , water and other hydration drinks are available.

THE BREAKFAST

(The City of Cockburn Community Big Breakfast)

A full breakfast is served immediately after the swim for those who have purchased breakfast vouchers.

A special Kids Brekky Bag is also available for the young ones (containing a cereal box, juice box and a piece of fruit).

KIDZONE

Throughout the course of the event, there will be activities available for the younger kids – including music, face painting and other activities hosted by Junior Goals which will include an inflatable soccer goal on the reserve. Our event wants to keep encouraging the younger kids to be healthy and active. These activities will take place at the Woodman Point Reserve and also on the beach during the swim.

Kids aged 8-11 are also encouraged to have a go at ocean swimming as part of the 250m Try-It Swim.

After the swim, there will also be some games and a photo competition involving Daphne the Duck on the reserve so we can all have a bit of fun while organisers prepare for the presentations.

THE PRESENTATIONS

After a short break in proceedings, prizes will be awarded and various other presentations made by officials in the Presentations Area of the Woodman Point Reserve.

THE RESERVE

We thank DBCA for allowing us to use the Woodman Point Reserve for the event and remind all participants that there are NO PETS ALLOWED either on the reserve or the beach.

Aussie Natural Spring Water is a proudly Western Australian owned and operated spring water company.

The Darling Ranges: home to some of West Australia’s most pristine national parks and rock formations. Here, some of the oldest rocks on earth lies exposed; the granite, quartzites, and gneisses are from an ancient time of over 2,500 million years ago. It’s at this amazing location that Aussie Natural Spring Water sources the fresh spring water that our customers love.

These natural springs act as filters, with water moving gently through layers of rock and sand and into protected aquifers- this can mean travelling thousands of kilometres through nature’s filtration system for up to a hundred years.

This water is carefully drawn from our natural springs, and transported to Perth in stainless steel tankers. Before the water has reached our bottling facility, it is already among the most purest water to be found across Australia, then to be passed through further spring water micro-filtration systems in our state-of-the-art Perth facilities. This also includes the assurance that we have eliminated any harmful microorganisms or bacteria from the water, with an ultraviolet sterilizing unit. This technologically advanced electrolytic process is only the finishing touches on Mother Nature’s long and laborious natural filtration system, so we can guarantee a safe and great tasting product.

A true Aussie success story… it began in 2013 as Belinda Dennis fulfilled a need for something better in the sports nutrition market. In Belinda’s case, it was the availability of good quality, natural, healthy, Australian-made sports nutrition products that could support her passion for triathlon.

The only sports nutrition products she could find on the market that suited her requirements needed to be imported from the US. The idea to start a business here in WA was formed.

Belinda used her background in science to develop formulas for a Natural Sports Hydration drink containing a specific range of electrolytes, with low sugar (30% less than many other products on the market), with plant-based flavouring and no artificial colours, sweeteners or preservatives. She was interested in creating products appropriate to sports in the Australian climate, and that are absorbed quickly and, in turn, gentle on an athlete’s gut during intense endurance events.

Eat chia and run! Many athletes eat chia to improve their endurance, aid mobility and help with muscle repair. Chia seeds swell up when soaked in water and form a gel-like substance. This slows the conversion of carbohydrates into sugar, keeping your body fuelled for longer periods of time.
